This is one of the vessels which the High Priest used on Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Lots were drawn to determine which
goat would be used as a sacrifice to G-d, and which would be the
scapegoat, sent off as an atonement for the sins of the people.
During the era of the First Temple, these lots were fashioned of
wood; in the time of the Second Temple, they were made of gold.
These lots, reproduced by the scholars and craftsmen of the Temple
Institute, are constructed of both wood and
gold.
